BYOD - Call for Participants

I am researching how schools and teachers are incorporating BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) programs. My ultimate goal is to put the results of the research in a user-friendly format that will help teachers and schools make informed decisions about the implications of BYOD for their schools. Your experience can help those schools and teachers make better decisions, and participants will get a copy of the research from me.

If you work in a BYOD school or district, or your school or district is starting such a program, please consider participating in the research by filling in this form. This form does not commit you to participate - it only means you would like to receive more information and see the survey. Your answers here are also private. The actual research will not start for a couple of months, when I will send you more information about the research. The survey below asks several questions about your current program so that I can develop questions to target the program.

Choose the options that most closely apply. You might need to provide an explanation in the Other box.
